Featured review
Nasty Little Slasher
Victims! (1985)
** (out of 4)
Two lunatics are running around town killing anyone they cross paths with. At the same time four female friends are hopping in their car for a camping trip and sure enough both sides eventually meet up.
VICTIMS! is a film I had never heard of until it hit Blu-ray and after watching the film I'm a bit shocked that it doesn't have more of a following. With that said, there are countless flaws in the movie that prevent it from being what I'd consider "good" but at the same time there's enough decent "slasher" things here to make it worth watching.
The film starts off in an incredibly fast mode as we get three killings within the first couple minutes of the movie. Being in the era of the slasher, the killings are quite gory as director Jeff Hathcock obviously knew who him main audience was going to be. The film gets off to a fast start and things really don't slow down as these maniacs run into several other people with gore that follows.
So, what happens? For some reason all of the killings pretty much come to a complete stop once the two killers and the four females meet up. The film completed changes gears and to be honest with you it gets very boring very quickly. It's really too bad the wild, over-the-top style that was the first part of the movie didn't continue throughout. I'm not sure if these earlier scenes were shot afterwards when they realized there wasn't enough gore or what but there's no question that they are missed during the second half.
Those who complain about horror films being misogynist will certainly hate this picture. There's a lot of women murdered. There's a lot of nudity. There's even some sexual torture as two of the ladies are forced to make out with one another. VICTIMS! is a pretty nasty little film and I just wish it had kept this up the entire time. At 76- minutes it's still worth watching for the nasty stuff.
